Several of us are chatting on the Pirate Zone. Come join us.

OK so how? I am a member of the forum over there, but the chat doesn't recognize my username and password?

We're sticking with it. DCL has 2 months to fix it (and I really want to see the divers).

Andy

me too. I'm hopeful they will make it better.

Lisa, I think over the course of this thread (threads?) you have proved that they are of sufficient size to pull it off!!!!!!!!! The question is -- do you want to have to live up to the expectations you would create by getting the job in such a spectacular manner?

Good point.

make sure you are on the right pirate zone, it's not the planning boards where we have all teh posts about what's going on. It's our first board before we had the discussion boards.

The URL is very similar but slightly different.

We are going to cancel it and try it on our own...we have the more expensive one booked right now and if I recall correctly, it will cost us ...MATH ALERT....

59 times 6 equals 334 plus I think $40ish for DD3, plus I assume we would need a tip of about $40. So this is over $400 we will not spend. I am happy to save that money for a most likely bad excursion. We will wing it and see how it goes...

We saw the new playhouse Disney show in March and we loved it. It was similar in format to the old show but with charachters from the new shows. It was fun!!

We are looking forward to it! Dh and I love all the *kid* shows!

I went on a trip to Germany when I was a teen, so I am excited for him to do the same! He is really shy though, so it will be an awesome life experience for him.

We will have to discuss this further on the ship!

I'm going to remember to tell 17dd about his trip for '09. Since she'll be on a DISNEY ship she will actually talk! LOL! She doesn't speak at all otherwise. How cool that you did the same thing as a teenager!!!

I can't wait to meet you! LOL!

 

[radioclash2]

Oh, I bet that would be a unique response and get you noticed...not sure if it would be in a good or bad way though...

How much do you tip the Excursion person (driver/guide)???? I feel so cheap now::::::::hanging my head in shame:::::::::::::

 

[captaincrash]

So far I've found two dresses that I really like.

Prom season is just getting started here so I'm not expecting find any good prices on dresses until next month.

I love the top of the second dress, but think the skirt might be a bit much. I like the top of the first one, but the skirt is boring.

What do you think?

Well... since everyone is posting comments on this I'll offer my 2 bits...

I think the bottom dress is simply ....

However, Alicia knows I've always had a "thing" for poka dots too!​

Andy - actually it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be - it actually only hit a low 4 figure on the 1st and 3rd one - actually DH got off supercheap on the 2nd one. I got him a good deal! Compared to what he wanted to get me - he got off easy. And the only reason he wanted to get me that dreams pendant was because the girls weren't with us.

All in all, it was cheaper than a Ducky Williams original painting! So you see, I actually save him some $$$ (that way I can spend it on the EB)

Oh yeah, here's a bit of good news for the guys, according to the guy at Milano Jewelry store in Cabo, which is where Pippa recommended I get my tanzanite of the color I really wanted, it is out of season there right now. They just got done sending their best tanzanite stones to Alaska for their season which has just started - May - Sept is their time. Which I can attest to that - I got my pride and joy Tanzanite - a 3.25 tanzanite back in 2000 for just under $2500 reduced from $4200. They were desparate to make a sale (Little Switzerland) - it had a deep purple red flashes that I wanted and we later saw the same ring but 1/2 the stone size for $8000 in the Caribbean later that summer so again, I saved DH tons of $$ on that ring.

Laura, you're so good to your DH.

I was thinking the same thing! We will have lots of fun!!!!

I figure it if were 4 of us, we would tip $20, since there are 7 of us, I do double...if that is too much, that is fine with me. I am trying really hard to stay in my budget this time....who am I kidding, it will never happen...

Good morning everyone.. Nice sunny morning herre in Central New York.. I am off to the Doctors with my DAD.. post chemo/radiation CT scan today.. Plase keep him in your thoughts for CA free today.. He was Dx in September for Pancreatic Cancer...and is kicking butt!!!

Glad he is doing so well Hope you get a new mouse soon

hi everyone! happy monday! i guess i'm not able to keep up here...so i'll just check in and say hello!!
i need to vent for a min too, cuz if i don't vent here, i may say something not nice at home! LOL! i had to get my computer looked at over the weekend...was infected with some nasty stuff! my friend's dad is usually the one who fixes it for me. well, she took my comp to him on friday and brought it back yesterday...all fixed!! yeah!!
funny thing is.....i went into my history...and i believe her curiosity got the best of her...she looked at my yahoo mail account. i don't normally log off of it, cuz it's my home computer. when i went into my history....the only thing visited was the spyware site her dad visited and my yahoo mail...and it was the sent emails that i know she would be interested in! she is curious (NOSEY) about a few friends that i email, and those are the ones that were looked at! i'm stunned to say the least...but i don't want to say anything to her....and start problems. she acts a bit funny...but has no idea that i know she looked. ugh!! ok...sorry...just had to get it outta my system, before i say something to her that is really negative!
thanks for listening! hope everyone is having a great day!!

I would be very annoyed as well. You know depending on how close you are, you could tell her you noticed her snooping after you have had a chance to calm down. Or just let it go. It could be worse...my Mom was telling me how how one of her co-workers stole her best friend's husband

Just got home and the mailman had left the following

Also a Mickey Vest and bow tie

Andy

Very nice I bought one from Gradysmommy too, but in different colors.

How far is Salem, Mass from Tysons Corner nearby Vienna, VA? Also, Colonial Williamsburg from Tysons Corner? I am on my way to see if I can catch some info from AAA. Also seeing what else I may have to plan for.

Talk to you all - I know I can research but figured my friends here on the DIS can answer these little biddy questions faster than I can find the answer.

Salem, MASS is probably 7 hrs to TYSONS CORNER,, and then another 2-3 hrs to Williamsburg. Talk to my sister KAP158 about Williamsburg. She lives there. I live in Central NY and it takes us 9.5 hrs to go to Williamsburg. We went to DC last summer and that was 5 hrs .. and that is around TYSONS CORNER.. then another 2-3 hrs to Williamsburg down 95, 295 to 64 to 199..Easy driving but 95 out of DC can get congested. AAA will give you a trip tik. Good luck

Looks like Vienna is right outside Washington, D.C.? I mapquest it & it says 472 miles, 8 hours 19 mins., but we're right near Salem & I honestly don't think I've ever made it that fast due to traffic. Maybe more like 10 hours, but add even more if traffic is really bad. It shouldn't be more than 2 1/2 hours from Williamsburg.

Tysons Corner is about 3 hours to Williamsburg (maybe more if you hit traffic). As for Salem, Mass. to Tysons Corner, I'm not sure. A lot depends on traffic. We avoid traveling on Fridays because the traffic can be horrendous around here in Northern VA and in NY. I would guess like above anywhere from 9-10 hours. At least 12 hours total travel time. Also depends on how fast you drive

Won this for DH on Ebay...figured it will change up his tux a little for the 2nd formal night.

Nice

I used to get Dean Koontz's audio versions for the 2 hour commute when I was getting my MS Those'll keep you awake!

We listened to Lightning on the way home from college for Thanksgiving break
I like a lot of his books too.

 

[radioclash2]

[bellelinus]

My 90 day reservations for the 5 night cruise were easy as could be . . . got everything I wanted by 12:05 . . . what the heck happened that night we tried to book for this cruise?

 

[Caropooh]

[poohmomof5]

boo, no Palo brunch reservations available !!

I tried too, no luck for me either. I hope the first timers get what they want..they must be so excited for their first Disney Cruise!!!

I know you guys are in chat, but report back here what you were able to get.

GOOD LUCK!!!

 

[radioclash2]

That would so make a good sig line....




You are cracking me up tonight!!!

I aim to please...

Nope! We won't have the film crew and ours is early morning........ Totally different as far as I'm concerned! LOL!

I was thinking about the film crew too. must have dragged the experience out.

 

[got2travel]

mostly the folks in chat were hoping for more Palo ressies, but as you all found out, nothing is avail

Todd is trying for a different time for Dolphins in Cabo, but nothing there either.

I don't think they opened any new slots for anyone.
